A production process produces electronic component parts. It is presumed that the probability of a defective part is 0.01. During a test of this presumption, 600 parts are sampled randomly and 18 defectives are observed. (a) What is your response to the presumption that the process is 1% defective? Be sure that a computed probability accompanies your comment. (b) Under the presumption of a 1% defective process, what is the probability that only 3 parts will be found defective?

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 22 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 6% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? ... The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Many fire stations handle emergency calls for medical assistance as well as calls requesting firefighting equipment. A particular station says that the probability that an incoming call is for medical assistance is 0.84. This can be expressed as P(call is for medical assistance) = 0.84. (a) Give a relative frequency interpretation of the given probability. O Eighty-four percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O None of the calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Sixteen percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O All calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Fifty percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. (b) What is the probability that a call is not for medical assistance?
